the combination of a frangible container or grenade and a member orframe engaging a projection or projections on the container andsupported by means including a fusible connection- In the form of theinvention- This invention relates to fire extinguish-- Further objectsof the invention will ap- In the embodiment of the invention illustratedin Figs. 1 and 2 there is shown a frangible grenade or container 10.This container used for fire extinguishing purposes and is preferablyfilled with carbon tetrachloride or some other suitable fluid adapted toextinguish fires. The container 10.has formed thereon or secured theretoa plurality of laterally projecting lugs 11.

econtainer is supported in a suitable frame such as the frame 15 havingextensions or pockets 16 in which the lugs 11' areadapted to seat; .Inorder to position the container in the frame; the frame is placedoverthe container with the lugs of V the container. positioned as shownin dotted :lines in F ig.2.

Although certain specific embodiments of the inventionhave'beenparticularly shown and described, it will be understood that theinvention is capable of modification and that changes in theconstruction and in the arrangement of the various cooperating parts maybe made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, asexpressed in the following claims.

' What I claim is:

1. A fire extinguisher andsupport therefor comprising in combination,a'frangible fire extinguishercontainer having projections formed thereonextending laterally from the outer surface thereof, and ayframeencircling said container and having sockets to receive saidprojections, said container having an elongated portion extendingdownwardly through said support.

2. In combination, a frangible container formed thereon" extendthe outersurface. thereof, a frame encircling said container and havengaging andsupporting said projections and having other portions adapted to permitthe vertical passage of said projections through the frame. 7

8. In combination, a frangible container having projections thereonextending laterally therefrom, means having'portions engaging andsupporting said projections and having other portions adapted to permitthe "vertical passage of said projections through the frame,and"meansincluding a fusible part for supporting said frame.

9. In combination, a frangible container having projections extendinglaterally from the outer surface thereof, a frame surrounding-the'container-andhaving portions engaging and supporting saidcontainerrprojections'and having'other portions angularly displacedfrom-said portions adapted to permit the passage of the projectionsthere; through.

In Witnesswhereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 1st da of December,1-926.
